Windshield Not Sealed Properly, Buzzing/Whinning Noise
2012 Ford Escape
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Ford Escape has an acceptable complaint history so far, with leaking rear window problems showing up as the main concern so far. NHTSA complaint data shows an early pattern of problems with stalling while driving.
Another concern is the 2012 Escape rolled onto its roof during an NHTSA side impact test so it only received a marginal side impact rating ... not good.

Began as whistling noise at top center of windshield at 75mph. Then eventually at 45mph. Initially the dealer would not take the vehicle to 75mph to figure it out because the speed limit is 65mph here. The replaced the seal and it was ok for a few years. I had to put a bead of silicone on the outside to stop it, but there are water marks where water seeped in. Now the passenger side is actually leaking in to the car and dripping. Uggg... Ford... not again.This is my last Ford purchase.
